In this special feature, Harry and Costa have an interview on scientific practice with professor Ulrike Felt from the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS) at the University of Vienna. 🎓

Together with Harry and Costa, our guest discusses a variety of questions: What is good science? Where does the responsibility for good and bad science lie? How can we look at science and scientific misconduct through an STS lens? 😎 How can we research scientific practices and the values embedded in them?

👭 In STS we look at science as a collective enterprise.👭 While we often assume that scientists do their very best to expand the knowledge that societies can build upon, this assumption has been challenged and discussed critically by STS scholars since the 1980s.

Recently in Austria, we have been talking a lot about plagiarism, but professor Ulrike Felt nicely points out that there is more to discuss when thinking about science and scientific misconduct.💬

She also explains to us what her own research is about and how she investigates scientific practices. Thanks a lot to Ulrike Felt who shared her thoughts and ideas with us.🎇

Tune in to get to know more! 👋
